Drink: Pre-run smoothie recipes

If I'm going out for an early run, I sometimes find that my usual breakfast doesn't sit well when I'm running so a smoothie can be a better pre-run option. These are some of my favourite recipes for an early morning breakfast smoothie.

For all of these recipes, you can keep a stock of fruit in the freezer and put it all in a blender together. All recipes serve 1 as a breakfast or 2 as a snack.
